Gold in Chunks.

The alluyial geld hills recently dis
covered in South Australia, says the
New York Times, do not yet recall
to the Australian digger the exciting
days when Bendigo and Balloret were
in their prime, but they promise TO
yield a large amount of the precious
metal. Eight weeks after the first mug
get was found, there were 1000 men
at work around the spot where it was
taken from the earth. The branch Of
flee of an Adelaide bank had bought
5000 or 1000 ounces of gold and a
much larger quantity had been car
ried away
The new alluvial fields are situated
about two hundred and fifty miles
north OF Adelaide, and only twenty
three miles from railway station.
On October 5 Thomas Brady, the first
man TO begin work III California gully
at Bendlgo in 1852, was prospecting
in a gully on Teetulpa run with his
partner, Thomas Smith. The first
gold discovered was pried out ofcracks
in the slate with knives. Brady and
Smith applied for the reward of
Il, 900 offered by the government for
the discovery OF new gold field. At
once there was rush for the diggings.
The railway stations in Adelaide were
crowded. For parallel to thepres-
ent outbreak of the gold fever" said
the Adelaide Observer two weeks later,
lit is necessary togo back to the palmy
days of Ballaret and Bendigo. In the
streets OF the city nothing is spoken of
but gold, and the examination otspeci.
mems and the canvassing ofreports as
to the size OF the latest nuggets monop-
Ollie the attention alike OF busy men
and idlers. Parliament, or at all events
the assembly, has caught the prevailing
epidemic, and the gravest matters on
the notice paper have to yield prece-
dence to questions as to what is to be
done to facilitate the search for the
precious metals"
The gold is sold at f3 1Ss to "a an
ounce. At last accounts the largest
nugget that had been shown weighed
only 20 "a ounces, but it was report
ed that a five pound nugget and one
weighing seven pounds had been taken
out. Hundreds OF men were finding
no gold; many Others were finding
enough to pay expenses, while perhaps
one-half OF the diggers were doing well.
One of the lucky diggers made 81, 500
in three weeks. Two men worked two
weeks without seeing "color," and in
the following two weeks found 16
ounces. Another digger took out 10
ounces OF coarse gold in one day. A
nugget OF Is ounces is about the size
of a hens egg Probably one.half of
the gold is thrown away for want OF
water with which to wash the loan
and gravel in which it lies. At last
accounts the government was prepar-
ed to supply the diegers with water by
boring wells. Before Christmas the
diggings had been extended for several
miles, and the temperature was 100
degrees in the shade.

A Singular Experience.

A Boston correspondent OF the New
York World writes the Rev. Mr.. Ray
mond of st Mark school, Southboro,
told him this story of queer expert
ence: "a few days ago / was return
ing home after spending the holidays
in New York. AS the train neared
Boston put my hand in a pocket to
get the check for my trunk. 1t was
not there. To an old traveller ofgc cd

alarming. / knew l had put

lutely disappeared. A search of the
seat, the floor OF the car, my hand
bag and hat were alike unavailing.
On arriving at Boston | told the bag
gage-master the trouble and identified
the trunk. He called in the superin-
tendent and made another thorough
search for the check in their presence.

trunk, produce the keys and have my
description verified. Finally, after
paying for the lost check and signing

trunk away.
Getting into a cab | drove straight
to my housein Southboro. 1t had been
left locked and unoccupied in my alb
sence. Finding the air decidedly chilly,
as soon as | got inside decided to light
fire in the front crate. The wood
had been set in the crate all ready to
kindle. Lifting the lid off the match
box on the mantelpiece, was aston
ished to see the lost check lying on top
of the matches. As | remembered the
number, 1880 and it was one OF
those nickel-plated ones not common

there | am utterly unable to explain.
All | know is that it was the identi-
cal check got in New York and which

there, and in fact, had not touched

| filed the box with matches just be-
tore left for New York, two weeks
before, and had no such check in ny
possession then. The baggage-master,
to whom / took it next day, recog.
nized it as the one that entitled me to
the trunk, but as had already paid
for a duplicate l prevailed on him to
allow me to keep it as a material
proof OF this odd experience.
Mr.. Raymond has no theory of the
why and wherefore of the depraved
conduct on the part of the check, and
resents any idea of the supernatural
significance in it with orthodox ardor.

AstroIogy and Fortune Tell ng.

Richard A. Proctor the eminent as
tronomer has no patience with mod
srn astrologers and fortune-tellers. In
ancient times, when popular knowl.
edge of astronomical and other laws
was very slight, it was not surprising
that the art OF astrology flourish
ed. OF the modern article he remarks:
But the very circumstance that as
trology, though a superstition, was q
very natural and even reasonable
superstition in those old days, shows
what an unreasonable and foolish
superstition it is now. The very fact
that the old astrologers were for the
most part honest, though mistaken,
proves that the astrologer of to-day
must necessarily be rogue and a
charlatan. For now men know how the
sun and themoon produce their effects;
they know why Mercury seems shifty
and Venus lovely: how Mars comes to
look red and Jupiter bright and Sat.
urn yellow. That a rudy or ochre
tinge in the continents of Mars, never
less than 40, 000, 600 of miles from us,
should have anything to do with war
and turmoils on the earth is an idea
which none but personssof very weak
mind could for a moment entertain.
That because Venus travels inside the
earth,s track and, therefore can only
be seen during twilight, the loves OF
our boys and girls, our young men
and maidens, aye, and our men and
women who have passed the days of
youth, mnst be influenced by that sis
ter world, never less then 5000, 600
ofmiles from us.is a thought to prepos-
ferrous to need contradiction. and so
withthe splendor OF Jupiter, the gloom
ofSaturn and the swift movement or
Mercury. The "astrologers" OF to-
day either know all this and make
lying pretense of believing in planet
airy influences, or they are ignorant OF
it all and make lying pretense to
knowledge. Be the case how it may,
they must OF necessity belying knaves.
1t is the same nowadays with all or
ders of fortune-tellers, character
readers, phrenologist ct id genus omne.
Nothing but the ignorance which mis-
took itself for knowledge in the wise
old times could justify the claims put
forward by men of these classes. In
our day there can be none who be-
lieye they know how to read the stars,
for those who alone know how to cal
culate the movements of the heavenly
bodies know that the supposed infiu
ences of these bodies were purely
imaginary and passed on merely fanci-
full analogies. Among "astrologers"
there is no more knowledge of astron-
omy than there is knowledge of the
physilosy of the brain among ''phrsn-
ologists" The astrologer of old
knew all the astronomy of his time;
the astrologer of to-day has writ
ten himself down a charlatan and
is probably an INSCRIPTIONS rascal.

Paris During the Siege.

1t was amazing to see how quickly
the Generalization set in after the
fall of the Empire. Up to that time,
| think, Paris was one of the best
governed cities in the world, speaking
strictly of the municipal administra-
ton. The police was vigilant, alert
and honest, and life and property
were everywhere safe. Ihad never seen
the time, up to the time of the revo-
luton of thefourth of September that

visited the most remote and unfre-
quented streets in the city, for every
watchful policemen on their different
beats. But this city government
practically fell with the Empire, and
IN the absence of the governmental
and political regulations there was
much disorder; the streets were filled
with the most obscene and disgusting
literature, and the vilest caricatures
were cried on the streets by men and
boys, and sometimes even by young
girls.
Those days of the last of September
and the first of October were compare
lively uneventful. There WAS certain
fighting gong on outside of the walls
of Paris, and the usual number OF
proclamations and notice were issued,
which now, read in the light ofhistory
seem very absurd. The Figaro, a very
widely-read journal in Paris, made it
self ridiculous by its advice and sug-
gestion. One day it recommended
that the National guard should choose
its vivandieres from the most celebrat-
ed members OF the demi-monde.
Other recommendations. equally alb
surd and puerile. appeared in the
same newspaper.

often curdled the blood. l heard it

About 10 o clock the troops began to
pour in from every direction toward

and the neighhoring streets, and FORM

of Flourens seemed to have realized
their weakness, and before midnight
